In this paper, a novel approach for finite-time stabilization of uncertain affine systems is proposed. In the proposed approach, a fast terminal sliding mode (FTSM) controller is designed, based on the input-output feedback linearization of the nonlinear system with considering its internal dynamics. One of the main advantages of the proposed approach is that only the outputs and external state...

A hybrid sliding mode controller is proposed for rapid earth fault current limiters (REFCLs) used in resonant grounded power distribution networks to self-extinguish powerline bushfires where the concepts of proportional integral (PI) action and nonsingular fast terminal surface (NFTSS) are combined together utilize benefits both schemes. designed obtaining control input so that compensation ac...

In this paper, an optimal adaptive sliding mode controller is proposed for anti-synchronization of two identical hyperchaotic systems. We use hyperchaotic complex T-system for master and slave systems with unknown parameters in the slave system. To construct the optimal adaptive sliding mode controller, first a simple sliding surface is designed. Then, the optimal adaptive sliding mode controll...

This paper presents a new observer based fuzzy terminal sliding mode controller design for a class of fractional order nonlinear systems. Robustness against uncertainty and disturbance, the stability of the close loop system and the convergence of both the tracking and observer errors to zero are the merits of the proposed the observer and the controller. The high gain observer is applied to es...

In this brief, a fast terminal dynamics is proposed and used in the design of the sliding-mode control for single-input single-output nonlinear dynamical systems. The inherent dynamic properties of the fast terminal sliding modes are explored and conditions to ensure its applicability for control designs are obtained.

A novel fuzzy sliding-mode structure has been proposed for the model reference adaptive system(MRAS) based sensorless control of an induction motor in this paper. The design includes a hybrid MRAS from measured stator terminal voltages and currents. The estimated speed is used as feedback in an indirect vector control system achieving the speed control without using shaft mounted transducers. F...
